I seem to be having suture rejection, I was healing great. It looked great then I had a seam split, followed by infection. Long story to short. I'm am now on antibiotics but my stomach is swollen and very hard and painful with an open wound.

who has had the similar issues and what test did you have and how did you improve???

I hope things have improved for you. Are you continuing to have problems? Where on your body is the open incision?

How are you doing now, a few months out? I do hope there were no more complications!

I'm much better now. My left side waist split probably wasn't a suture split but Fluid needing to burst out. It was extremely painful for weeks as my side swelled to a football size each day. My skin would crack from the swelling, unfortunately my left side isn't as tight but no one really sees it. I don't have love handles anymore and love my belly button. I do need touch ups on my back where they started the cuts as the skin has bunched but they will do it in the office this winter when I'm done swimming. Thanks for asking and checking on me!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
